Cm07, backup of cm site triggered msi repair on wsus installs. The msi was badly written so that a repair usually failed.

You remember when WSUS used to uninstall itself? yea, it is like that.

It’s a small-medium size environment with about 12 distribution points and only one Primary Site. There don’t seem to be any limitations with using Pull DPs for PXE booting, UEFI PXE booting, or anything like that. From what I can tell, it appears that the main benefit of using the Pull DP is to take the load off of the PkgXferManager component on the Primary Site. It’s essentially a client that’s pulling content from the “source DP” using BITS. In fact, based on the TechNet documentation, it is using the CCMFramework component of the ConfigMgr client. To manage the transfer of content, pull-distribution points use the CCMFramework component of the Configuration Manager client software. This framework is installed by the Pulldp.msi when you configure the distribution point to be a pull-distribution point and does not require that the Configuration Manager client be installed. After the pull-distribution point installs, the CCMExec service on the distribution point computer must be operational for the pull-distribution point to function. When the pull-distribution point transfers content, it transfers content by using Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) and logs its operation in the datatransferservice.log and the pulldp.log on the distribution point computer.
